Default Suspension set up near us

I completed my bike yesterday, it is fully road legal now. I put TLS forks and ZXR B1H rear shock on my bike. Shes going well but the suspension set up is all wrong, I have already had to fight with it going wide twice, the front feels very soft, I'm sure i bottomed the suspension yesterday on a moderate-hard bump.

I set the sag at the front to 20mm, but don't know where to start with damping. I was hoping there is some one within 150miles that has experience with modified SV suspension set up that can put it in the right ballpark of adjustment and advise if springs or re-valving is needed.

Haven't used them in a while and not the cheapest around, but these guys are very good.

Cheers Mark.

+1 for PDQ. I'll be getting them to sort out the suspension on my gixer over winter.

Steve Jordan is in Leatherhead.
